Ronda Rousey lost her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair on the final 2022 episode of the blue brand. Following her loss, a fan asked her when she will get her revenge on The Queen. The Baddest Women on the Planet responded by saying that she is “tired” of Flair and would like to shift her attention to the WWE Women’s Tag Team division.
Two months later, it looks like ‘The Rowdy One’ is finally ready to pursue her desire to take over the Women’s Tag Team division alongside her partner in the ring, Shayna Baszler. However, fans do not seem to approve of it.

Get ready for another boring and cringe title run form Ronda

How does she have any say so? She isn't special and hasn't been in like over 3 years. She's horrible in ring and on the mic.
— Mayu Is Better Than Mone (@Jay_Driller) March 3, 2023
Hell no, Ronda seems to just like taking titles away from wrestlers just for the sake of playing keep away
— Scott Mccammack (@MccammackScott) March 3, 2023
It seems like fans do not like where The Rowdy’s storyline is heading.
Yeah another long boring run way to kill the tag team division
— steven f. (@PMewbuorn) March 3, 2023
At least there’s no division for Ronda to kill with another shtty title reign
— jay (@vexi999) March 3, 2023
This whole run is just her being unmotivated. Only returned because of the contract. If she has found a motivation let her live it out just to get the most out of her.

If this MUST happen despite exactly nobody wanting it, at least get them a manager who can serve as a mouthpiece.

Some fans want Rousey gone from WWE.
Just do the WWE fans a solid and release Rousey
— Ben Chapleski (@ChapleskiBen) March 3, 2023
Just release Rousey and push Baszler instead.

The team of WWE Hall of Famer, Lita, and Becky Lynch recently won the Women’s Tag Team titles from the Damage CTRL on the Feb 27 edition of Monday Night Raw. If the Stamford-based wrestling promotion gives green light to Rowdy’s idea, then the fans might get to see tag team action featuring the duo of Rousey and Baszler, and Lita and Lynch’s team on the opposite corners of the squared circle.
